The Planters follows Martha Plant (Kotcheff), an awkward telemarketer who’s down and out– sucking at her job and grieving her recently deceased parents.
After being named a recipient of the 2019 Women in Film Finishing Fund grant, The Planters swept up awards at nearly every film festival attended.
The film was produced by Kotcheff, Leder, and Jacqueline Beiro, who served as an off-set producer under Kotcheff’s banner Fire Tiger Films, a production company focused on auteur-driven films.
